Capcom's first Fighters' Edge winner likely to be the hit of the neighborhood.

By IGN Staff

Capcom today announced the first winner of its Fighters Edge promotion, going to a young 11-year-old named Jonathan. This lucky winner, who resides in Palmdale, California, takes home a brand-spankin' arcade fighting game (which one Capcom wouldn't say).

The promotion, with more than 35,000 registrants participating in its first 90 days, awards one Capcom arcade game every three months.

"Our first arcade game winner is a big Capcom fan, having played videogames since he was four years old," said Todd Thorson, senior product marketing manager, Capcom Entertainment. "Jonathan signed up for Fighters Edge after buying several Capcom games and seeing print ads just as many of the 35,000+ members have done. He's the lucky one to be drawn this quarter, but there are more arcade giveaways coming this January. Fighters Edge is one of our largest promotions. Membership continues to grow every day."
